obama had said now listen, this is all you're going to get. don't think you can come back and say i think three or more brigades do the trick. this is it. so no coincidence in 18 months to the day, obama appears and says he's pulling out all of the surge troops. not just through 5000, but all of them in the next year because basically it hadn't worked. he had a good situation because he could retrieve this is a victory because it killed osama bin laden. they had taliban troops in the field. the afghan arbutus getting better, but she didn't need the extra 33,000 troops to do all that. so he changed the mission and what has happened since his counterinsurgency has disappeared because of the failure of afghanistan's now abandoned us and that we shouldn't do and were reverting back to a new american way of war, which involves small footprint, drums from the sky, small commando raids, the opposite of counterinsurgency and on the one hand, at least for not sending 100,000 troops tamale or uganda. on the other hand they fear what this does do is set

the obama folks came in. they did something significantly bigger, and they did that in part because the macro picture was far worse. the additional infrastructure spending and increase government spending that's been talked about right now was too small and too slow, if you buy into the idea that more government spending we give a short gdp term kicked for not doing enough of that. i'm skeptical. i wouldn't be doing that policy. but if you want to be the short-term kick, you've got to do something that is, i do want is an order of magnitude, but several times larger say in where going to increase highway spending by another $100 billion over the next few years isn't going to give you the short-term kick. i also think it's infeasible to imagine that republican house, you're absolutely going to get significantly increase government spending in any context. but i think those are served to separate question but i think it is legislative and feasible and even if it were legislatively feasible i don't think it's bi

obama learned this early on. he had a four year head start and with his data machine, they built a kind of grassroots tactical edge that is the model of politics. my favorite example of this is that the obama campaign actually hired a guy in cleveland who is sole job it was to go to work shops all day he'd go to one barbershop, then another, he'd sit around talk to people, what are the hopes and dreams. what is going on in the family. what are their financial problems. so when it came time to turn them out on election day, it's like turning out your friend. now i don't care how much money you put into media buys you cannot done kate that connection with voters. it seems that strategists are catching on. but there has to be a caveat. 2012 was not 2010. 2010 i would say was a policy referendum on policy issues, healthcare, bailout spending. 2012 at the end of the day was a personality contest at the presidential level. mitt romney was the next white guy in line and like bob dole. no doubt republicans will lose that
